PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed in order to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury. Carefully read all of the instructions below

before using this heater.

1.

This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch the heater’s

hot surfaces. Use the provided handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible

materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, paper, clothes, and curtains at least 3

feet (0.9m) from the front of the heater. Also keep these materials away from the sides

and rear of the heater.

2.

Extreme caution is necessary when this heater is used by or near children or invalids

and whenever the heater is left operating unattended.

3.

Always unplug the heater when not in use.

4.

Do not operate this heater if it has a damaged cord or plug, or after the heater

malfunctions, has been dropped, or damaged in any manner. Return the heater to an

authorized service facility for any repairs or for electrical or mechanical adjustments.

5.

Do not use this heater outdoors.

6.

This heater is not intended for use in wet or damp locations such as bathrooms or

laundry areas. Never place this heater anywhere where it may fall into or near water.

7.

Do not run the power cord under carpeting. Do not cover the power cord with throw

rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Arrange the power cord away from traffic areas

where it will not be tripped over.

8.

To disconnect the heater, first turn the controls off, and then remove the plug from the

outlet.

9.

Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust openings as

this may cause electric shock, fire, or damage to the heater.

10.

To prevent a possible fire, do not block the unit’s air intakes or exhaust. Do not use

the heater on soft surfaces (such as beds) where openings may become blocked.

11.

This heater may have hot, arcing, or sparking parts inside. Do not use this heater in or

near areas where gasoline, paint, or other flammable liquids are used or stored.

12.

Only use this heater as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by

the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

13.

When possible, avoid the use of extension cords because the cord may overheat and

cause a risk of fire. If extension cords must be used, minimize the risk of overheating

by making sure they are UL listed, a minimum No. 14 AWG, and rated no less than

1875 watts.

14.

This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do

not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other appliances running.

15.

It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the AC

outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact

a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlets.

16.

The output of this heater may vary, and its temperature may become intense enough

to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not recommended for persons with reduced

sensitivity to heat.
